Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction. Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment to target specific muscle groups and types of movement. What are the benefits of the activity?
The benifits allocated with weightilifting are: Increases HDL - High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and decrease LDL - Low Density Lipoprotein (bad cholesterol). Reduces risk of diabetes and insulin needs. Lowers risk of cardiovascular disease. Lower high blood pressure. Lowers risk of breast cancer - reduces high estrogen levels linked to the disease. Decreases or minimizes risk of osteoporosis by building bone mass. Reduces symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) Reduces stress and anxiety. Decreases colds and illness.
